We need to output HTML fragment with sections only when there is real specific content. Use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to extract content from posting.
First, identify sections:
- About the role: maybe a brief description. The posting has "Brief Summary Of Job Duties" and "Department Marketing Statement". Could combine into About the role.
- Responsibilities: list of duties. There's "Job Functions And Percentages Of Time" with percentages and description. Also "Brief Summary Of Job Duties". We'll need to produce a list
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to extract content from posting.
First, identify sections:
- About the role: maybe a brief description. The posting has "Brief Summary Of Job Duties" and "Department Marketing Statement". Could combine into About the role.
- Responsibilities: list of duties. There's "Job Functions And Percentages Of Time" with percentages and description. Also "Brief Summary Of Job Duties". We'll need to produce a list - for duties.
- Requirements: maybe "Special Conditions Of Employment" etc. But we need to follow headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide what goes where.
The posting includes:
- Pay Rate/Range: budgeted salary range $100,100 to $105,000/year; also full salary range $100,100 to $187,500/year. So we have Pay info.
- Benefits Eligibility: Full Benefits; Hybrid Work Arrangement eligibility: Up to 1 day per week hybrid scheduling. So Benefits.
- Schedule: Working Days and Hours: Monday - Friday, 8am - 5pm. Also special conditions: Ability to work some weekends and evenings.
Thus we can have Schedule section.
- Qualifications: Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe derived from qualifications: e.g., "Impeccable writing and editing skills; extensive journalism experience..." etc. Could put under Skills.
- Requirements: maybe the "Special Conditions Of Employment" etc. Or maybe we treat Requirements as the mandatory qualifications (Required Qualifications). But we already have Qualifications heading. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which content goes under each.
We can map:
- About the role: Department Marketing Statement + Brief Summary Of Job Duties (overview).
- Responsibilities: list of duties from Job Functions And Percentages Of Time and maybe from Brief Summary.
- Requirements: maybe the "Special Conditions Of Employment" (ability to work weekends, background check, vaccination, misconduct disclosure). Also maybe "Must be available to be in office full-time if needed". Could be considered requirements.
- Qualifications: Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe the skill-based bullet points from Required Qualifications (e.g., "10+ years of excellent written, verbal, interpersonal communications, and active listening skills in higher education", "4-6 years of demonstrated expert management skills", "Advanced judgment, analytical and decision-making skills and advanced political acumen.", "Impeccable writing and editing skills; extensive journalism experience...").
- Benefits: Benefits Eligibility + Hybrid Work Arrangement + "Excellent retirement and health are just one of the rewards." (from Benefits Of Belonging). Also maybe "Full Benefits".
- Pay: Pay Rate/Range.
- Schedule: Working Days and Hours + ability to work some weekends and evenings.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID etc.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual numbers.
Now produce HTML.
